The charcoal testament

Take the Ashen Vow

Cross three branching acts, compose a forbidden relic build, and put each ash sovereign to rest. A full road lasts about thirty minutes.

Run Structure

Choose a seeded path through three procedural acts. Every road guarantees a forge, recovery, elite trial, relic shrine, and sovereign encounter within a focused 30-minute run.

Build Alchemy

Relic tags compose into readable effect chains. Gather three relics from a family to swear an Oath, or five to transform it into a run-defining Vow.

Charcoal Folklore

Bone-paper arenas draw themselves in ink before embers reveal each fight. Bold silhouettes and restrained color keep enemy tells readable when a build becomes wild.
